Vintage Fresh Mushroom Soup image

This is my favorite light soup to start a guest dinner. It came from the 1975 edition of The American Heart Association Cookbook and varies significantly from the 1998 fifth edition version I posted as Recipe # 289524 "Fresh Mushroom Soup". I use a lot of mushrooms, and prefer to see my mushroom slices as opposed to blending everything.

Time 30m

Yield 1 1/4 quarts, 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons oil
2 cups water (chicken broth may be substituted)
2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
1 teaspoon onion flakes
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon sherry wine
salt and pepper, to taste
5 teaspoons green onion tops, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Slice caps and stems of mushrooms in thick pieces.
  • Heat oil in a heavy saucepan and saute the mushrooms quickly until just crisp tender.
  • Combine all other ingredients in blender and mix until thick and foamy.
  • Add mushrooms to blender and, using lowest speed, blend for 4 to 5 seconds or until mushrooms are chopped into fine pieces but not pulverized. (I generally skip this step, preferring identifiable mushroom slices.).
  • Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat slowly, stirring with a wire whisk to keep from burning. Use an asbestos pad if soup is to be left on the stove.
  • Sprinkle thinly sliced rings from the green part of green onions on top of each bowl of soup.
